The HR Innovation Lab recently launched by Orange Business Services is a mix between a think tank and a laboratory, intended as a venue for observing developments beyond the company, not only in France but also abroad, in the area of new human resource practices, as well as technology and the impact on workers. In keeping with the operations of Orange Business Services, a division of the Orange group providing IT and telecommunications services to companies in France and across the world, the lab also provides an opportunity for clients to engage in co-innovation on HR issues.
When interviewed by Planet Labor, Samantha Woods, Vice President HR innovation, Employer Brand, Employee Experience at Orange Business Services, says: “To be competitive today, a company can no longer simply measure themselves in one region but must also look at what’s happening in America and Asia. In the world of tech, competition is global and that’s why our HR Lab has a role of observing and analysing what’s occurring in HR on a global scale.”
